2026 CTVP SIG meeting

Welcome

Another great event brought to you by ACE – a tripartite collaboration of ANZCA, ASA and NZSA. 

We are delighted to invite you to “Cardiac on the Coast”, hosted by the Cardiac Thoracic Vascular and Perfusion (CTVP) Special Interest Group (SIG) at the Hilton Hotel, Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, on Friday 30th and Saturday 31st October 2026.

After the tremendous success of our recent combined 3SCTS meeting last November in Sydney, we are returning to our core focus of cardiothoracic and vascular anaesthesia. This event will highlight local talent, foster engaging discussions, and offer an inclusive and open forum for sharing experiences, knowledge, and techniques.

The workshop program will take place on the afternoon of Friday, 30th October, followed by the main program on Saturday, 31st October. Sessions will feature the latest developments in cardiothoracic and vascular anaesthesia, echocardiography, and mechanical circulatory support.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Gold Coast.
